Looking at their options it looks like they are simplifying room mate finding. It's a nice value add to be able to work with a steady landlord while only renting a bedroom, it helps shield residents from the cost burden when a room mate moves out and makes it simpler to move into a larger house with more rooms ( and potentially better location ). In Boston there's a scarcity of 1-bedroom units relative to 3+ bedroom units - it's common for folks to live with a few roommates as the typical cost is ~1/2 of the 1-bedroom equivalent and generally easier to find.
